Hi Everyone!!
I have decided that my workout routine needs to get kicked up a notch. What better way to motivate than to sign up for a run!! Now, as some of you remember, I ran the NYC marathon a few years ago. As fun as that was, it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience for me. But, I'm pretty sure my body can handle some shorter runs. So, I've decided to run the London 10K on July 10th, 2011.
While just running is an accomplishment for anyone (especially me), from my experience, it makes it much more fun and rewarding to run for a cause. I will once again be running for the Cortney Sara Seff Memorial Fund. This fund is associated with the American Epilepsy Foundation. Cortney passed away suddenly after suffering from Epilepsy for many years. She never let her epilepsy stand in her way and she accomplished many things in her 24 years, such as graduating university and using her unique insight and compassion to work with the elderly. She continues to be an inspiration of strength to all of us who knew her. This year marks the 10th anniversary of her death. In honour of Cortney's life, her family set up this memorial fund to aid the Epilepsy Foundation in research into the different causes and aspects of Epilepsy. They are trying to reach the $50,000 mark this year in order to direct their funding into areas that directly affected Cortney.
So, it would be much appreciated if you can donate to this wonderful cause. Together we can help ensure that Cortney's compassion and determination are not forgotten and will carry on.
Thanks!!
